Confidence helps your child enjoy challenges, take reasonable risks, try new things, make new friends, and adjust well to school life. Confidence isn’t about feeling better than others but an inner belief that says, "I can do this" even when it seems hard.
Parents and caregivers play a key role in helping children build up their confidence. Learn how to help build your child’s confidence. (Español).
